Clothes for boy dolls / Kleertjes voor jongenspoppen

6:41:00 AM

This time I made some clothing for boy dolls. Instead of
sweet and girly fabric, I used scraps from when my son was a toddler. Using the
“Boy Basics” pattern BD1612 , I made a hooded blouse and some pants to go with it. This
was so much fun that I decided to make another set from the same pattern, to
show what a difference fabric can make. Doll number 1 got a soft flanel shirt
in a blue checkered pattern. I used velcro in front and added some buttons for
fun. Doll number 2 got a cotton shirt, also with checkered pattern. This time,
I used little plastic snaps for fastening. This was the first time I used
those, and I love those! The pants are simple jeans, without extras. To complete
the set, I knitted booties using scraps of stonewashed yarn. I do not remember where I got the pattern, but lots of free patterns for similar booties can be found via Pinterest.

I like these patterns so much that I am sure I will be making those in other colours too. There is a scrap of fabric with dinosaurs in my stash that will look amazing with this. A bit of ribbon along the rim of the hood will be nice too, or an applique... This would be nice for a girly doll too, using a sweet fabric.
